john boehner once and jim clyburn twice. that's it. i think there were 40 basketball games that are known and he played, there were ten members in one game and that's it. and go around -- go around to members -- there are democratic house offices of not freshmen or sophomore that's have never had a single white house official walk across the threshold. and now let's say the president is 100% committed to getting a bunt deal through, a grand bargain. but have you to ask yourself, even if his intentions are absolutely the best and even if he's absolutely committed to it, he is going to have to change the whole way he operates 100%. a democratic lobbyist friend of mine said the motto of the white house seems to be no new friends. [laughter] and so i mean i'm the long-term optimist and short-term pessimist. but we will see. >> and the difference between bill clinton and barack obama is bill clinton wants any new friend he could find and that's part of the reason he was so successful politically and this president has a different way of ope

the second point on what boehner said. the best way to cut spending is benefits are cut and therefore spending will go down automatically. the republican reaction would be almost instainsly negative. we're a day and a half after the election and the fiscal cliff is six weeks away. i'm curious whether anybody here thinks this is going to be settled before christmas? >> unless we have a temporary agreement that pushes them into next year. >> are you saying we will or we need to in order to get our mind right? >> both. i don't agree with that. let me say in terms of the pieces, i see it a little differently. i think the treasury is the best estimates and they're always more pest mystic as you pointed out is that the treasury runs out of borrowing authority in february. i think that means that they run out of borrowing authority in the same way they did in may of 2011 which really means they can go to extraordinary movements within accounts and get another eight weeks worth of time. so instead of february, instead of the end o

having said that, john boehner, speaker boehner, has shown his willingness to work out an agreement here. that can be done by affecting deductions, loopholes that would include those in the upper brackets so that the president could get the revenue that he says he is looking for, but it would be done in a way that tax rates are not increased. therefore, we believe that would not slow economic growth. i think there's enough on the table if both sides want an agreement, i think john boehner has put enough on the table that an agreement can be reached, and as far as republicans getting clocked in the last election, the fact is we still have a very large majority in the house of representatives, so it could be said that while president obama won and he did win, the fact is in the congress the american people have returned a republican house of representatives so we also have, if you want to call it a mandate. i don't like to use that terminology, but i think if there's any mandate it's to try to reach common ground, and i think speaker boehner has put enough on the table that a real compromi
